That's why I posted the question for some feedback. Thanks.

The idea of replacing the front end is basically two parts.

1. The original front end is history. Just worn and old. I realize the replacement kits for these are inexpensive compared to the kits I am looking at.

2. I have been told by some that the conversion will greatly increase the driveablity and handling of this car.

and I wanted to upgrade the brakes. Seemed like a good way to take care of several issues.

Any suggestions for a better way to proceed?

Thanks again.
